I have a say too
$2000-all proceeds go to planned parenthood
I am putting two pieces in the women's voices out loud show, a vagina flower called "privatorium mr.sanitorium, and with jafapal nancy's insistence, the embroidery photo "chill daddy'o." Both are a direct response to recent events. I never thought we would have to talk about this, but HERE we are.
THE PILL
It has played three major roles in my life.
1.It was prescribed initially to help control severe menstrual migraine attacks.
It's astonishing that I have to explain a doctors decision but, since over the counter pain medicine didn't work, and prescription meds are addictive with major side effects, the doctor felt balancing my hormones with the pill was the best choice, and it was.
2. Family planning
None of your business
sheesh, do I REALLY have to explain this, DUH!!!!!!!!
I didn't invite the whole neighbourhood into the doctors office (do you?) to decide based on their beliefs or needs. These were decisions that were determined BEST for MY health, and were private decisions. It's appalling that we even have to defend such private medical decisions, and have others determine what we should or should not do with our bodies.
KEEP OUT OF MY UTERUS

Excellent point!
Anyway, I'm going to talk to her about how well the extra-strength Excederin really works; if it isn't cutting it, we might need to think about the Pill.
(My niece has polycystic ovaries; she's been on Jazmin (sp?) since HS to try to control it.)
I admit I'm kind of conflicted about this, but I want her to get relief. I don't want her to feel de-facto pressure to have sex just b/c she's 'protected.'
But thanks for the food-for-thought. I've heard of hormonal headaches, just never knew anyone who actually had them and could verify my suspicions...
Your vaginal flower is amazing - woot you!!
